TROUBLESHOOTING
Using cycles with a lower spin speed. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Small items may have been caught in pump.
Empty pockets and use garment bags
for small items.
A tightly packed or unbalanced load may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. See “Cycle
Guide” for Load Size Recommendation for each cycle.
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are
still wet
Drain hose extends into standpipe
farther than 4.5" (114 mm).
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form
and securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain
opening.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Use only HE detergent. Suds from regular detergent or using too
much detergent can slow or stop draining or spinning. Always
measure and follow manufacturer’s directions for your load. To
remove extra suds, select RINSE & SPIN. Do not add detergent.

washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.

end of the drain hose more than
96" (2.4 m) above the floor.
Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the
floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose. See “Installation
Requirements.”
The drain hose fits too tightly in
the standpipe, or is it taped to the
standpipe.
The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal the
drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See “Secure
the Drain Hose.”

spin basket and outer tub.
Rotate drum by hand to check for any binding of the spin
basket and outer tub. Move open end drum up and down while
